麼暗 Mo.an: Motorcycle Koan :: The Blockhead Cager

The Blockhead Cager

Two Zen teachers, Guretsu and Gosei, were invited to visit a cager. Upon arriving, Gosei said to the cager: "You drive skillfully by nature and have an inborn ability to learn."

"Nonsense," said Guretsu. "Why do you flatter this blockhead? He's a cager, so he doesn't know anything."

So, instead of running over Gosei, the cager ran over Guretsu.
